New Freedom and Vicinity.--The weather
for the past week has been delightful Cool
frosty nights followed by warm, sunshiny days
remind one of the old saying, "Summer resting
| in the lap of autumn" With the close of the
present month winter will begin to make his ap.
| pearance. Already the careful housewife has
stored the small crop of fruit, and farmers with a
few tardy exceptions, have finished seeding and
are now busy housing corn. The butchering sea-
son will soon be at hand and promise the gentle
| readers of The UNION full description of the
modus operandi of og-kiling party in Pennsyl-
| vania when the proper time shall have arrived.
| The business industries of our town are steady.
N. H. Gore & Bro. control the bulk of the trade,
but the persuasive and accommodating manner Of
the Gillen Bros. give them strong second place.
Bailey, the famous ice-cream manufacturer who has
a summer trade of over $4,000, has gone into his
bottle and pulled the cork after him. Israel can
pop some good jokes occasionally, but it is better
for "Is" that he goes into the bottle than the bot
tie into him, for this little matter of juggling vice
Uersa among our less enlightened citizens causes
a temperance association to bloom here once a
week. Our successful hardware merchant, Mr.. A.
Ii. Gore, has large trade at present in stoves
with revertible fues. His stock is of the most
beautiful patterns and great fuel savers
Alpha is drum major in the cornet band and is
therefore the handsomest man in town. His new
uniform is crushing but the fair friends in Balti
more county will remember he has a frau and
kinder der hame. We have promised the boys to
come over to the big tobacco factory of Mr.. John
Milers, and see the way fancy brands of cigars
are packed for Northern markets. This is another
trick, for the last time they blighted our downy
mustache with Havana explosives. Mr.. Blizzard,
the foreman, reports trade good. By the by, we
promised our German friend, Martin Luther, a
place in this directory. How close Martins
genealogical tree grew to his illustrious namesake
we are unable to say, but we know the great Mar
tin did not exceed the less in sticking to his "last
and propagating the Luther family through eter
nifty. The last successful business man we inter-
viewed was Stony, the knight ofthe forge, formerly
of Monkton. Stony has made snug fortune in
the last seventeen years at his trade, and besides
being first-class workman is the leader of the
temperance cause in town. His stormy eloquence
knocked the wind out of the license for the new
hotel. sIIe informs his Baltimore county friends
that he is we'll and wishes them the same. How
ever, he comes from too near Hereford, so we draw
the blind.
Rev. Detwiler, of the Shrewsbury Church, is
holding series of revivals throughout his circuit.
An interesting one is now going on at Ruhps
Church.
We are sorry to report the serious illness of Mr..
James Masmer For the past year he has been
suffering with an abscess in his side.
There is our kind friend, Mr.. Edward Wineholt,
manager of p. A. & S. Small's farms in your coun-
ty. He is very busy husking corn and has first
class crop. He is the largest farmer in the Upper
End.
Mr. Robert Roller usually took the cake in
raising potatoes but it appears Mr.. West Walker,
of your county, is now on top. He raised over 4O0
bushels on Il acres, and since the land has been
prepared for seeding over ten bushels more have
been picked up. Fact without satchel
Talk about politics, we know of regular Dem
ocratic club in the 9th district that has three
Members president secretary and treasurer.
